Making your way back to the stage after eating a move with massive knockback in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U isn’t easy. Sure, you’ve got a options to attempt a safe landing, but you’ve still likely got the person who sent you flying in the first place waiting to meet your return to the ground, fists ready for a punishment of some sort.
In their newest video, the Beefy Smash Doods discuss a mechanic that they call “A-Landing,” which can be added to the long list of options that players in this situation have to choose from. A-Landing takes advantage of the autocancel frames on various aerial attacks to eliminate landing lag and get you back into the fight as quickly as possible.
Which aerial works best for this technique varies between characters, so the video also covers how to find the best attack for your character of choice.
